Your car wont start and you are in for a tow job.
us survivalists out here have prepared a short wire jumper with 0.25 spade lugs on each end that easily replaces the crappy switch supplied by Porsche. The jumper will get you home and allow you to replace the switch with another crappy switch that will soon fail. Beware that if you have this jumper installed, you can start the car without depressing the clutch.
I have a 2010 boxter on its 3rd switch. All were warranty replacements but thats little comfort if you arent parked in a dealers lot when the switch fails.

... just eliminate it altogether.
That was the very first hack I performed on my car, the very same day I bought it, back in February '98.
The US/Canada is the only market that requires that switch.
RoW cars don't even have it installed.
That switch was the lawyer's legacy to the Audi issues back in the 80s.
Happy Boxstering,
